I just want to be a princess, no, you want to be a queen

Chapter 177 The person is missing

Lu Mingyang was speechless. How could she have married such a fool? But the more she looked at this fool, the more she liked him.

Red candles were lit, sandalwood incense was inserted, and paper money was burned. Thick smoke billowed into the sky, like a mighty army.

Chu Mingzheng knelt down in the hazy smoke.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?" Lu Mingyang hurriedly grabbed him. He was a prince, so even offering sacrifices did not require such grand ceremony.

"Tell my father-in-law that the daughter he didn't have time to love is my wife. I will love her for the rest of my life. Let him rest assured."

After saying this, he pushed her hand away and kowtowed solemnly.

Lu Mingyang's eyes welled up as he knelt beside him and kowtowed together, completing the three bows they had been missing.

Thinking of this, Chu Mingzheng's eyes were filled with guilt: "Yangyang, I don't know when I can give you a wedding."

That night, she walked towards him in her wedding gown, and he fled. He never knew how to explain it, because even if he did, he couldn't. As long as the emperor was around, he would never be able to marry her openly.

"I do not care!"

"I care!"

"Then remember this in your heart and treat me well."

"..."

On the horse returning to the city, Lu Mingyang touched his swollen lips and asked, "Your Highness, have you thought of a solution for my eldest sister's problem?"

Chu Mingzheng said: "It may have been difficult before, but now, there may be a great opportunity."

"what chance?"

In fact, these days, every time Lu Mingyang returns to the Chengyang Marquis Mansion and sees her elder sister practicing martial arts, she feels uncomfortable. She has been trying to find a solution, but nothing works.

Unexpectedly, after only talking to him for half a day, he already had an idea.

Lu Mingyang was surprised at his speed.

Chu Mingzheng didn't say anything.

After the mysterious man rescued his sister, he asked Zhu Cong to investigate.

In the battle outside Yanmen Pass, more than a hundred people were killed, including Lu Mingze. After the battle, the people inside Yanmen Pass were worried about the Xiongnu invading, and many refugees fled to various places, including Jinyang.

Before the Marquis of Chengyang led his army to war, he held a martial arts competition to determine the vanguard. Soldiers from the eight military commanders' camps in the capital, the Yulin Guards, and garrison camps in various places came to the competition to apply. There were many masters among them, including Pei Mian.

The winner was Lu Mingze, who was only 18 years old and had been in the army for only three months.

Chu Mingzheng thought Pei Mian was losing on purpose because he didn't want to accept someone else as his general. After becoming suspicious of Zhou Yuan, he questioned Pei Mian and learned that it was Lu Mingze who won the match thanks to his martial arts skills.

"Your Highness, you just haven't encountered him yet. Even if you did, you wouldn't be able to defeat him."

He still remembered Pei Mian's aggrieved and unruly way of contradicting him. If Zhou Yuan was truly the survivor of the Battle of Yanmen Pass, then only Lu Mingze could possess such superb martial arts skills.

But he still couldn't understand, if Lu Mingze was still alive, why would he hide?

So I have never been sure.

But the missing yellow flowers in front of Lu Mingze's tombstone today gave him evidence.

"What chance?"

Lu Mingyang was dissatisfied with his ignoring her and pinched his face angrily.

Chu Mingzheng leaned over, gently bit her crystal earlobe, and said with a smile: "You are not sure if I can do it, so you come with me... Um... Have you been coveting me for a long time..."

Lu Mingyang covered his broken mouth in embarrassment.

……

"Uh...uuuu..."

Chu Mingzheng walked into the palace holding Lu Mingyang's hand and heard a familiar cry. He looked at the girl beside him with some disbelief, asking, "Who's crying?"

The sound reached the hall. Chu Yueling pushed aside Qin Miao who was trying to comfort her and threw herself into Chu Mingzheng's arms, crying uncontrollably: "Brother Zhou is gone!"

The sister in his arms had disheveled hair, a chill damp from the dew, and was shivering. Chu Mingzheng held his sister's face in his hands, distressed, and angrily asked, "How did you get back?"

"I, I rushed back!" Chu Yueling stepped back in fright.

It was obvious that a young girl, regardless of the long distance and high mountains, rode a horse all night through the wilderness just to find a man.

"Okay, Ling'er is still cold. Why don't you send someone to inform Prince Jin quickly? The Concubine Dowager must be worried." More importantly, if Prince Jin can't find his sister and rush back, and the news gets to the palace, it will be a serious crime.

Lu Mingyang patted the angry man lightly and returned to the hall with Chu Yueling in his arms.

Qin Miao, standing in the corridor, watched this scene and felt bad. She didn't expect that Brother Zheng didn't come back all night, and when he came back, he came back with Lu Mingyang.

Seeing that Brother Zheng had finished giving instructions, Qin Miao suppressed her disappointment and went to hold him with a smile.

Seeing Chu Mingzheng come in, Lu Mingyang said, "Ling'er said that after they checked into the inn yesterday, Zhou Yuan disappeared. Before he disappeared, he only said to her, 'Sleep well.'"

He expected that Zhou Yuan would not leave the capital, but he did not expect that his sister would rush back at all costs.

Chu Mingzheng sighed: "I understand. Have a meal and have a good rest. I will send someone to take you back tomorrow morning."

"I don't want to!" The tearful girl raised her head, her timidity mixed with an unshakable determination: "I won't go back until I can find Brother Zhou."

"Take her back to your courtyard." Chu Mingzheng was too lazy to look at such a silly sister anymore. He instructed Lu Mingyang and turned to leave.

Suddenly, Chu Yueling rushed over, knelt in front of Chu Mingzheng, grabbed his sleeve and begged, "Brother, please help me. I'm afraid something will happen to him. I'm afraid I'll never see him again."

Seeing Chu Mingzheng clenching his fists in anger, Qin Miao hurried to help Chu Yueling and advised, "Princess, he is just a refugee. Why do you have to make your brother angry?"

Lu Mingyang went over and held Chu Mingzheng's hand, then asked softly, "Should we send someone to the palace to let them know?"

When it comes to love, it is better to ease it than to block it. Even father and daughter can turn against each other, let alone brothers.

Just then, someone from the palace arrived to announce the arrival of Princess Qinghe. Once she arrived, she was likely to stay in the palace. Chu Mingzheng said, "Miao'er, accompany the princess to the palace."

As he spoke, he whispered in her ear, "If the emperor lets her live in the palace, you go and ask the imperial grandmother to let her live in Shoukang Palace." He was really worried that Concubine Song would let his sister live in Xiefang Palace and come up with some bad ideas.

This was the first time that Brother Zheng asked her to do something, and Qin Miao agreed happily.

"Brother!" Chu Yueling didn't want to enter the palace at all. She still wanted to find Brother Zhou.

"You stay in the palace and I'll go find him." Thinking of this, Chu Mingzheng once again instructed Qin Miao: "Let the Empress Dowager persuade her."

The Queen Mother naturally couldn't persuade her, she just wanted His Majesty to know that there was such a person.

The footsteps gradually faded away, and the hall became quiet in an instant.

Lu Mingyang asked, "How do you want to find someone?"

"Let's go back to the Chengyang Marquis Mansion and discuss the matter of commanding the army with my elder sister." Chu Mingzheng pulled Lu Mingyang onto the horse again.

Lu Mingyang was really hurt by the horse's buttocks and sighed, "Your Highness, my eldest sister's matter is not urgent. The most urgent thing is to find Zhou Yuan."
